Wang Chengzhu never thought of asking for the brigade commander's assistance. Seeing that he did not object to his actions, he immediately promised: "Don't worry, brigade commander, I won't act rashly.

Although I really want to destroy the Japanese airport, I will not make fun of the lives of all the brothers in the regiment.

Before taking action, I will conduct detailed reconnaissance. If there is no chance, I will decisively withdraw the troops and work with the main force to remove the remaining Japanese strongholds."

The brigade commander nodded and said, "Okay, then go back and prepare."

"yes!"

Wang Chengzhu stood up and saluted, and then turned to leave, but was stopped by the brigade commander: "Wait a moment."

Wang Chengzhu turned around in confusion: "Brigade commander, do you have any other instructions?"

Brigade Commander: "After you return to Jinzhong, ask Li Yunlong and others to keep 5% and 30% of the military expenses and food raised respectively, and send the rest to the brigade headquarters.

The next step is to unload the artillery pieces from the armored train and send them to the brigade headquarters."

After a pause, the brigade commander added: "Oh, by the way, each of your regiments also needs to hand over two Type 92 infantry guns.

As for other weapons and equipment, each regiment can only hand over one battalion."

Only 5% of military spending is left, which may seem like a small amount, but is actually quite substantial.

The main thing is that Wang Chengzhu and the others captured Yangquan, Pingding and Jinzhong County this time, and could raise at least 10 million oceans.

Even if other companies share less, they can still get at least 1 million. 5% is 50,000 yuan.

For Li Yunlong and others, this is definitely an astronomical sum of money.

At least before this, Li Yunlong and the others had never seen so much money.

Wang Chengzhu didn't care about military expenditures and food, nor did Wang Chengzhu care about the weapons and equipment of that battalion. He wouldn't frown even if he handed over another battalion's weapons and equipment.

But those artillery pieces on the armored train were his pet peeve. Upon hearing that the brigade commander actually wanted to rob them, Wang Chengzhu immediately bargained and said: "Brigadier Commander, I plan to expand the size of our regiment's artillery battalion, so the armored train

Can you keep those artillery pieces for me?"

The brigade commander said angrily: "It's not that I want those artillery pieces, it's that the boss plans to form an artillery regiment.

Not only our 386th Brigade, but also the two 105mm caliber howitzers from the 385th Brigade next door will be donated.

All other things are negotiable, but this matter is not negotiable."

"That's...okay."

When Wang Chengzhu heard that it was the boss's order, he immediately surrendered.

I guess the boss just came to the 386th Brigade just for these artillery pieces...

3 hours later.

Jinzhong County.

Li Yunlong and the others had completed the campaign against the local tyrants and shot all the local tyrants and evil gentry in Jinzhong City in public, which immediately won a good reputation.

The Eighth Route Army's reputation in the central Shanxi region has also risen to an unprecedented height.

Jinzhong is indeed one of the richest counties in Shanxi. Li Yunlong and others collected a total of 8 million silver dollars from local tyrants, which was almost twice that of Yangquan County.

If the seven families are divided equally, each family can get 1.14 million. Even if they still need to hand over 95%, they can still have a little more than 50,000 left.

In addition, the benefits obtained in Pingding County are not included.

In terms of weapons, apart from the equipment handed over for one battalion, the remaining weapons of each regiment can be expanded by at least two reinforced battalions.

There is also food. Excluding what needs to be handed over to the brigade headquarters, each regiment can basically have more than 100,000 kilograms left.

It can be said that everyone, Li Yunlong and others, made a lot of money this time.

As for Wang Chengzhu's Second Independent Regiment, it naturally received the most benefits. Not counting equipment and materials, just the recruitment of the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army was unmatched by several other regiments.

Of course, this matter has not yet gone through the brigade and headquarters. It is not that Wang Chengzhu has forgotten this.

Mainly because Wang Chengzhu was not sure what the brigade commander meant, and this attack on Taiyuan Airport required the use of the 4th Mixed Brigade, so the matter was temporarily suppressed.

Wang Chengzhu returned to Jinzhong, and after handing over the spoils of war, he relayed the brigade commander's order.

When Li Yunlong and others heard this, their faces were filled with displeasure, even though they were all prepared to be robbed by the brigade commander.

But it's one thing to be prepared, and it's another thing to be robbed.

However, they still did not dare to disobey the brigade commander's order. After complaining, they bid farewell to Wang Chengzhu one after another, left Jinzhong, and rushed towards Zhaojia'ao.

Although Chen Lian, the leader of the 769th Regiment, did not receive the order, it was because of communication obstruction, so he also left together and went back to the 385th Brigade Headquarters to report.

So, in the huge Jinzhong County, only the Second Independent Regiment and its family were left.

Immediately, Wang Chengzhu immediately convened an emergency military meeting.

Provisional headquarters of the Second Independent Regiment.

Except for Captain Duan Peng of Langya who was out collecting intelligence, all the main officers and officers of the Second Independent Regiment were present.

In addition, also participating in the meeting were Sun Yuliang, the brigade commander of the 4th Mixed Brigade, and his three regimental commanders.

By this time, Wang Chengzhu no longer regarded them as outsiders.

Wang Chengzhu glanced around with sharp eyes and spoke first: "Perhaps many of you think this meeting is a summary meeting, but what I want to tell you is that it is not the case!"

Except for Xu Hailang, deputy leader of the group, who knew that Wang Chengzhu planned to attack Taiyuan Airport, most of the others did not know about it, so he thought that the group leader Wang Chengzhu held a summary meeting.

At this time, some doubts could not help but appear on his face.

The cavalry battalion commander Chen Xiao was impatient and asked first: "Captain, instead of a summary meeting, is there another combat mission?"

"good!"

Wang Chengzhu nodded heavily, and then said: "Through this morning's bombing, I believe you all can see that the Japanese planes are such a threat to our army that all our army's operations can only be carried out at night.

"

"So, I plan to take advantage of the empty Japanese troops to kill the Japanese airport in Taiyuan once and for all."

These cadres and officers of the Second Independent Regiment are all people who are not afraid of trouble. When they heard that there was a combat mission, and it was to attack Taiyuan Airport, they immediately became energetic.

Everyone's eyes were burning and they wished they could leave now.

Only Sun Yuliang had some worry on his face as he said: "Commander Wang, despite the fact that we severely damaged the Japanese reinforcements in Taiyuan last night, the mobile troops that the Japanese can mobilize in Taiyuan City still exceed 10,000.

And the airport is the most important base for the Japs, and its defense strength must far exceed that of Yangquan and Jinzhong County.

Isn’t it too risky for our lone army to rush deep into the vicinity of Taiyuan City to fight?”

"Also, if we cannot destroy all the Japanese planes at the first time, the Japanese aviation troops will definitely control the planes to take off and escape.

By then, our attack will be deemed a failure..."
